Vastaus: Nintendo Revolution
Revolution onkin Wii.
Nintendo have at last announced the official name for their next-gen console. It has been going by the codename Revolution for two years, but Nintendo today confirmed that the new console will be called Wii (pronounced we).
Nintendo weren't expected to announce any official news until the E3 games show in May, but it confirmed the new name in a statement released this afternoon:
"While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games and each other. But youre probably asking: What does the name mean? Wii sounds like we, which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii. Wii has a distinctive ii spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd."
